Vintage 2005 Borderies limited edition Giboin Cognac

Tasting notes :

This 2005 vintage comes from the 350-liters G306 single cask.

It fully assumes its spicy notes of vanilla, caramel and saffron.

Each year, we vintage only 1 cask. This cask is filled with eau-de-vie from white wines distilled on the lees or overloaded with lees, just as they leave the still. This technique of distillation on the lees brings out aromas that are specific to the lees, which need time to express themselves and mature. It's therefore perfectly suited to our vintage, which we only sell after 20 years' ageing. This vintage comes from a single cask. We reduce it 3 times during the first 5 years of ageing to reach a ABV of between 40 and 50 % vol. after 20 years. It's un-chillfiltered; it's a Cognac "from cask to bottle". Only the weather and the cask in which it's kept explain the variations in aroma between our different vintages. The grape varieties and distillation techniques are the same; the master distiller and cellar master apply the same production methods.
